This prostrate, trailing evergreen shrub is primarily used as a ground cover. It is highlighted with bright green, ovate to rounded leaves with prominent veins. In the fall, Bearberry Cotoneasters are accented by small, bright red berries. Small white pinkish flowers appear in spring. It may reach 1-2' tall but spread up to 12' wide by trailing stems. It does best in full sun. Mature plant forms a thicket. Lowfast is a hardy variety.

Water Saving Tip:

Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.

Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
